Long time, long time com ing,
a long time
What you say?
Long time, long time coming,
a long time
I've been smiling
So everyone can see
Just exactly what's
been happening to me
I have finally cut loose
the ball and chain
An d I know it's for the better,
cause I am not the same
I've let go of what I never understood
I think it's time I start
livin' for the good
It's been a long time comin'
Long time comin'
But the time has finally come
It's been a long time comin'
The time has finally come,
the time has finally come
Understand me,
an d what I'm talking about
My salvation,
an d it makes me want to shout
Sweet Jesus, you're the one I need
I'm so glad that you waited for me
It's been a long time coming
But the time has finally come
It's been a long time coming
But the time has finally come
I can't recall a moment in time
when I felt so good
No, I never understood
that you could be
just what the people said you were
Now there's no doubt what
you are about,
and it's all for nice
Crossed for my life, you paid the price
In the eyes of God, you were the sacrifice
It's been a long time coming
But the time has finally
come
It's been a long time coming
But the time has finally come
Long time coming
Such a long time coming
Long time coming
But the time has finally come
I know you can make it
Long time coming
Such a time coming
Long
And the time has finally come
